Ye Chen and Li Yalin followed behind, all the way to the second office at the end of the first floor corridor.
The man pointed to the door of the office room, Li Yalin walked up and knocked twice, and the same French language was used inside to say, “Come in.”
Li Yalin pushed the door in and Ye Chen followed closely behind, the man saw the two of them and asked with some surprise, “Who are you?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he was similarly psychologised by Ye Chen.
Ye Chen then said to Li Yalin, “Inspector Li, let him introduce us to the mode of operation here, as well as Duke Mining’s freight records, and it would be better if there were records of the train’s movements.”
Li Yalin immediately asked the other party in French, after which, the other party immediately introduced the general situation here to the two of them.
Morocco mines almost 40 million tonnes of phosphate every year, of which more than 10 million tonnes are used for export, and the rest is used to make 20 million tonnes of phosphate derivatives for re-export, of which fertilisers are the majority, and most of these 30 million tonnes of goods are exported all over the world, with a portion of the exported ones being digested by the rest of Africa, and the rest, basically, being exported all over the world from the port of Casablanca, soRailway transport here is very busy, with at least twenty to thirty freight trains loaded with goods entering the station every day.
Instead of 24-hour operation, the trains in and out of the port operate for 14 hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tonight, two more freight trains will enter the station in half an hour, and after these two trains enter the station, no more trains will enter the station tonight, and the management office can go off duty, leaving only two people on daily duty.
However, inside the yard is 24 hours a day, the night train to come in overnight unloading, a lot of tomorrow morning to be sent out of the goods, but also in the evening to complete the loading.
Morocco’s mainline railway, basically all belong to the Moroccan National Railway Bureau, also known as the Moroccan National Railway all.
However, because this is the port’s distribution facilities, so the internal station by the port’s own transport management office is responsible for.
As for all the trains, train-related drivers, maintenance personnel, are the employees of the Moroccan National Railway.
The schedule of the freight train is also the responsibility of the Moroccan National Railway, which is only responsible for receiving the plan, arranging the order and time of cargo loading and unloading according to the train schedule, and arranging for the train to stop at the designated location and loading and unloading the cargo at the designated time.
Duke Mining is located in the region, is located in Morocco’s core phosphate production area, about two hundred kilometres away from here, just in the phosphate transport special line railway belt.
Phosphate special line railway, is invested by the Moroccan National Railway Bureau of the construction, along the way through each of the phosphate enterprises to reach a certain size, can be paid to the Moroccan National Railway, by the Moroccan National Railway for the construction of a straight through the enterprise’s internal branch line, in order to facilitate the passage of the train, reduce transport costs.
And enterprises in addition to pay the Moroccan National Railway a construction cost, access to the trunk line, but also regularly to the National Railway to pay the threshold fee, as well as specific transport costs arising from the transport.
But spare a thought, the enterprise’s unit transport cost is also far cheaper than with the car transport is much cheaper.
Duke Mining is not the largest phosphate enterprise here, but its scale is also considered to be moderately high, and its annual phosphate production is around one million tonnes, and Duke Mining is not involved in the production of derivatives, and all of the phosphate produced is used for export, so they have a train loaded with phosphate departing from Duke Mining and arriving at the harbour almost every day.
Coincidentally, the two men also learned from each other that the last freight train scheduled to enter the harbour tonight was coming from Duke Mining.
This train was expected to enter the station around eight forty-five, and in tomorrow’s freight train departure plan, there happened to be one more trip to Duke Mining, which meant that a batch of imported goods from Duke Mining had already arrived at the port, and were to be loaded and shipped back tomorrow.
As for the travelling record video that Ye Chen wanted to see, the management office was not qualified to access it, but it was possible to wait for the train to enter the station and then find a way to view the inside of the locomotive.
After Ye Chen heard this news, he immediately said to Li Yalin, “What do you mean, it’s better to come early than late, let’s touch this cargo train today, and by the way, let’s also touch what Duke Mining is going to ship back tomorrow!”
